Even at level 70 it doesn't matter. Unless you've spent thousands you're not going to have enough troops to fight through ten plus level 70 fights. GW is broken until they fix it.
Only if you have reached 70 focusing only on your arena squad. I'm 70 and it's been a whole lot easier since I crossed 60. It was quite difficult in the 50s and I compensated for the difficulty by working on extra toons specifically for GW. Maybe that's why it's become easier.
@Nonemo
No need to be insulting. I think OP's main point here is the sudden jump in difficulty, not the difficulty itself. The GW matchmaking is kinda wonky indeed, which is why CG will be tweaking it in a future patch.
Daka, sid, Kylo, luminara, phasma. Between sid, Kylo and luminara giving heal immunities and Daka always reviving and phasmas fusillade slowing down my team allowing for multiple attacks before i get one attack. I cringe when I see that team and for some reason I see it a lot in gw.
I'd sooner want to go against a leia, fotp, poogle, poe, and qui-gon, which I go through them often too. I can atleat send in a suicide team to dispelled all their specials before going in with my secondary squad killing one or two then cleaning up easily with my primary. With the others even if you use a suicide squad they still have their abilities to debuff and revive.
Look, good against pvp is one thing, good against the living, that’s something else.
Since most of my team is Jedi, the Dooku and Sid combo is always killer. Especially when they have Daka or a glass cannon into the mix. My toons always get stunned, and to make it worse, Sid dodges extremely often, so I can't even heal my toons.
Poe. Teams that don't have him I can usually work out a way to win without taking too much damage or I can send in a B team to rest and protect my A team. If I see Poe then I know I've got to send in a suicide team. 2 gw's ago I faced 5 Poe teams. Not fun. Pretty much any other toon you can try and tweak to get rng to work for you. I find the top poe teams always kill someone before I can do anything. Always!
Ha. Stop complaining just because it's hard. It goes both ways. I'm lvl 70 and my first opponent was lvl 50 today... It just happens sometimes. Believe it or not, no one is out to get you!
Worst to see (ive seen it a few times)
-sid lead
-dooku
-lumi
-daka
-kylo
All 7* (except dooku), all gear 8 and all level (high). I Just dont bother fighting. Kinda upsetting that its that way.
Btw when i call that a p2w i know people say they are all f2p toons, but dooku, daka, and kylo are all kinda p2w if theyre at high star because people who pay for crystals can buy energy like theres no tomorrow and just collect those shards all day
Yes not bad at all. I in the early/mid GW last night faced 3 strait Poe, QGJ DPS 7* Purples and faced that the whole streatch. Welcome to the new GW. A true war of attrition.
Feed that team some fodder to draw out the AOE's and Victory March if lucky, then go in with your A team and take the now less hard hitting team out.
GW is not broken. It is meant to be a Royal PITA
All these people suggesting the "fodder" teams to draw out specials, and the fact that you can (and I usually have to) retreat 20+ times until RNG is on my side. Do these things not tell us how broken this mode is??
I hate kylo (6 or 7* only) and sid obviously cause of his heal block and annoying aoe every match. Dont enjoy seeing lumi either or dooku. I dont like seeing all 6 or 7* teams when mine has half health and abilities on cooldown.... So dumb
Awesome 7th node today!!! Daka Lumi JC GC Wookie..lvl 68 all 7*
I'm 58!!!! Great job EA.
I really wish I would not have waited to get on the the OLD DAKA UNTil it was too late.
Waiting is horrible for OLD DAKA UNTil now is bad.
I'm curious what changed in last two-three days. I'm level 66 and have ten toons all level 61 gear 7 and stars from 6-4 now I halted leveling my A team to level up more toons for GW and started doing great but two or three days ago it got insanely hard. Before I was only seeing teams up to level 63-65 now it 65-69 and early to, did a silent update happen?
It is currently based on your top arena rank ever achieved which I believe is more unfair than basing it current rank. I suppose ill also wait for the Gw update first though.
I could use a few days of these. I've had pretty hard ones lately but it's actually not been horrible. If I didn't have the bench I have it would be impossible but not too bad.
Now when the gods strike me with 4+ nodes of the crazy Rey/FOTP/leia/etc nodes I'll cry a little.

Face it. You followed some untested advice to get 7* Sidious and Luminara instead of spreading your resources across multiple characters. This is the reason for your current downfall.
I am lvl 45, this is my 5gw, i failed 1 so far, this could be 2nd
so before last match highest team was 52-54 and i thought that would be highest cuz usually for last i didnt got harder team. But this time i got 15lvl difference team seen here>>
so first i send my low team to make them use some abilitys
now i am trying to to defeat this team but i failed 3 times so far so i came to forum to ask
which heroes to attack first
Today wasn't too bad till I hit a full droid team with poggle mostly 7* and full gear. Got through that but then hit a full jedi team 7* with Ima gun? (can't remember his name but counter leader one)
That was a tough battle and took a lot of retreats to find the best way though.
Finished GW but had lost most my characters by the end where normally I have my A team left
Why does everybody keep reporting their GW day in the forums? "Mine was easy", "mine was super hard", "I got defeated by an Ewok team". I really don't see the point.
Finish sid and lumi first. Dooku doesnt do that much damage and you'll weaken yourself because he counters. Try to swap lumi and sid for lead, maybe you can dodge some attacks with lumi lead.

+ 1
I bet some of them got bored of the same AI and those darn AI never give them the attention they deserve.
i did it in 15th try, first i killed count doku cuz he was only one i could kill before lumi heal
then i killed lumi after that JC and Aayla and last sidious.
I did it cuz of rng after i killed lumi and dooku i dodged and resisted about 50% attacks
at the end i had 2 heroes left.

All lvl 62 all purple gears
6* Sid and Lumi
5* Phasma
4* chewie and gs
I can't get jiggy with that.
Heal block + uncertain amounts of incoming damage and you get lots of rage retreats.
